If a zombie bites another zombie, generally nothing significant happens because the victim is already undead, lacking the biological systems (blood, immune response) for a new infection to take hold, though some lore might suggest minor flesh damage or the transmission of decay, leading to a "more decayed" zombie, but usually, the bite is simply ineffective. Since zombies are reanimated corpses, their bodies are often depicted as unreceptive to further infection from the same source, though stories vary.
A zombie bite is essentially lethal. You may have a shot to cut off a limb, cut off a hand if you're bitten on the hand, but chances of that working are really slim. The examples of zombies infecting other people is that it's so toxic, so infectious, that if you're bitten, you're essentially doomed.
The two best choices available to most people are jackets made of leather or canvas, as both materials are fairly resistant against zombie bites.
It's often depicted as just the teeth marks, but I'd assume if a zombie really bites down on you, they'd tear out quite a bit of flesh too. They won't let go like an animal would. … the skin around the bite will likely be red, swelled up and inflamed.

And if they have fed once (assuming at the end of their life cycle and it resets their life counter) they'll have another 40-70 days life span + 10-20 days, let's say 160ish days max before they all "die", unless a zombie has an awesome kill streak.

No, brain-eating corpses aren't a real thing—yet. But there are conditions that cause zombie-like symptoms. Consider mad-cow disease, which pairs psychotic episodes with poor coordination. Many viruses already have the power to alter a genetic code or cause brain inflammation—and further mutations are possible.
Without a weapon like a large axe, or sledgehammer, attacking the forehead, top, or back of the skull is not recommended. Baseball bats may fracture the skull, but typically not thoroughly enough in these areas to cause structural brain damage. The sides of the head, eyes, ears, and crux of the neck are better targets.
Vampires are generally immune to disease, so a zombie virus wouldn't have an effect on the vampire. Also, vampires generally use the life force from blood as their food, not the blood itself, so dead zombie blood probably wouldn't be very appetizing to them.

In The Walking Dead, Rick Grimes was initially designated an "A," meaning a strong, potentially dangerous individual, but Jadis (Anne) lied and classified him as a "B" (a normal survivor/consignee) to save him from being killed by the secretive CRM, who use A's for dangerous experiments and B's for recruitment/labor. Later, it's revealed both A's and B's are valuable to the CRM, with A's being leaders/fighters and B's being followers, but the CRM actually wants A's for their potential to change the world, with Rick and Pearl Thorne being exceptions that get recruited as powerful A's.
